Metallic Lippies!

While matte lips are definitely here to stay, those tired of the trend may be looking for a way to add some shimmer to their pucker, without dishing out their savings on the well-known metallic Kylie Lip Kits. Read on for gorgeous options for metallic lips!


Milani released a range of limited edition metallic liquid lipsticks in the summer of 2016 . Lucky for us, they're bringing back the line for 2017! Some of the shades are the same as the summer release, but the line also includes new shades as well for a total of 15 colors. 

This range of colors is so exciting to me as there is literally a color everyone can fall in love with, There are plenty of nudes, browns, pinks, and plums, and more, my favorite being a cool classic red called "Mattely In Love." The shade pictured below is called "Matterialistic." (Yes they all have funny names involving the word "matte.") They dry down completely to leave a metallic sheen on the lips and last for hours.

I was lucky enough to spot the full Milani Amore Matte Metallic Lip Creme line in a Walgreens, but they're also available on the Milani website here for $9 each.

Another option for metallic lips, if you're a bit on the more daring side, is NYX Cosmic Metals Lip Creams. I say daring because while the collection does feature a warm nude and cool pink, the rest of the line includes, blues, greens, and more. All the colors feature fun space-themed names like "Dark Nebula" and "Comets Tail."

 The product has a thick creamy almost mousse-like formula. The colors are all extremely pigmented, no need to worry about being able to see your lips underneath. It goes on with a doe foot applicator and does not dry down. The purple (Asteroid Aura) and bright electric pink (Fuchsia Fusion) shade is a favorite of mine. I ALWAYS get compliments and people asking what's on my lips whenever I wear it out.

The product can be found at Ulta or on the NYX website here for $7.50.
